"The CD with Gallus has just reached me. Thank you so much! It is one of
the best if not the best interpretation I know of these pieces. My
compliments.
"I'm a big fan of the U. of Utah Singers! Please give my very best to all of the singers, and a special warm hello to my friend Brady. It's been too long...
"I heard your choir at the Marktoberdorf Chamber Choir Contest. First of all I'd like to congratulate you for winning the first prize! It was such a pleasure for me to hear and watch your choir singing. You had the best singers, the best program and the best conductor. You really deserved the first prize! I was overwhelmed immediately." -- Ms. Isolde H.
"Congratulations on your outstanding victory!! I feel so unbelievably honored and blessed to have come in contact with such a fantastic choir under such a phenomenal director. I wish I were eloquent enough to come up with a fitting adjective to describe the feeling I get when I hear the University Singers sing: vanquished, fervid, even powerful. I feel a little bit silly, because I didn't do anything to help achieve this amazing honor your choir has earned, but I feel so proud! To me, the University of Utah Singers (even before their latest triumph; their win just further affirms my beliefs) stands as a symbol of hope. Something about your choir is so fantastically influential, that I truly feel your music has immeasurably changed the world for the better. Seeing your choir perform so completely professionally, and maturely, and poised - and hearing the stunning sound they produce - demonstrates to me the capability of every human being on this Earth; and, more specifically, me. Thank you for showing the world the potential we all have inside of us. The potential is limitless. I hope someday to be fortunate enough to personally partake of this musical smorgasbord you have created!" --Blythe E.
"We hope you returned safely to Salt Lake City. The days in Marktoberdorf were very interesting. Again congratulations for the excellent prize. When you come to Germany, you bring power in the choir music also for us - thank you very much." --Friends from Germany, Walter & Sabine
"Congratulations Dr. Brady and U. of U. Singers on your recent success at the Marktoberdorf Int. Choir Competition, though I'm not surprised that you took first place. Your performance at recent concerts in Libby Gardner Hall have been phenomenal! It has been a pleasure to watch this choir program develop over the years to one of the world's finest collegiate vocal ensembles. I hope you take much satisfaction in your competitive achievement as well as your collective personal and artistic growth."
"Thank you for the great English class we had with you in Varaždin, Croatia. The entrance song was just amazing. The balconies provided a special touch I shed a tear, really, one or two ..." University of Applied Sciences
"Congratulations on winning First Prize in Marktoberdorf! I am very lucky to have been there, listening to your wonderful voices night after night. I didn't care if I heard the same pieces again and again. Well, I just enjoyed listening to them again and again! (in full voice during your last performance, belting out from the audience: cowboy, great American cowboy!!...) Thank you for your gift of music, and for giving it unconditionally. I am your most loyal fan for life. I hope one day to meet you again, not only as part of the choir, but personally as well. Know that you are always welcome in Manila, and I hope that one day I may return the gesture of your artistic excellence by humbly offering myself and my choir in performances and choral exchanges." --Jojo |
